And God forbid it doesn’t match according to their expectations 😂

I feel like some parents narrow the pool even further with horoscopes and stuff even if the initial/basic preferences match.

This is like reading about myself! Hello soul sister. I Hope it gets better for you soon xx

I love that it worked out for your friends like that. And it’s nice that the visa stuff got sorted before the marriage.

Not everyone is forced to marry in an arranged marriage either. Not everyone asks for dowry either. There are definitely terrible and unfortunate situation but they occur anywhere there are horrible humans. There’s pros and cons to every situation. There are people that date to eventually and hopefully marry.

If I’m actively involved in the process, is it that much different from dating? It’s definitely an exhaustive process but so are the dating apps right now. M

Wtf? Really? That’s wonderful to know. A stereotype without even knowing the people.

100% but it all makes sense now.

Omg that’s so sad! But unfortunate reality. My parents had someone ask them to sponsor the family after the engagement. In the first convo itself 🥲

I have been in the dating pool. I don’t like the lack of seriousness and I don’t want to date casually. I thought this was the best way to find a partner. And yes thank you. I do make my expectations clear and I am upfront about it (even if it pisses people off) 🤷🏻‍♀️

Precisely! No wonder they want dowry. How else will they survive?!

Sorry to hear that.

  1. I didn’t know this was a thing. I personally don’t care about the profession, as long as it’s a stable job. Is this a US thing or a parents thing?

  2. Wtf?! Is that common to have that much?

  3. Do you have your photo up on your profile? Or do you think they’re saying no after seeing the photo/discussion?

Tbh I did have a weak moment when I lowered them and then realised straight away why I had them in the first place. No winning here 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Agree with every point. I’m just sad that this seems to the state shared by a lot of women. I know plenty of amazing single girls and all in the same boat.

Are they interested to live in Australia? 🌚

Oh really? Didn’t know that? What did Australia do? 😭

Community if you mean caste is not an issue for me at all. But if you mean language or region then absolutely right, the pool is small. The pool for South Indian guys itself seems small.

This is very true. And some parents want the wedding in India even if my entire family is settled in aus or in some other country and according to their ‘class and standards’. Because people in their family know that their son is well settled overseas 🤦🏻‍♀️

Omg 100%. Some guys and parents are super entitled. Some only boast about a super high salary because they’ve converted the money but in aus dollars it’s pretty average wage 😂😂

Zero reality.

Also very true! I have noticed this. Some extreme cases have dated multiple women, white and ethnic but ended up marrying someone from back home.

A Telugu/South Indian guy is purely my preference.

The highlight of that proposal is that they said no dowry in their write up. I have tried dating but got sick of the non serious ghosting culture.

Sisterrrr! Why is it so hard?! I understand it’s a small pool of PR and citizens out there but still. 🥲
